| ENGINE, SUPERIOR 30 HP Donated by the O'Neal Oil Company, Inc., Brent Kramer, Troy Rhodes, Dierre Smith, and Buddy Webber transported the engine to the Club's site at the Gillespie County Fairground in December, 2006. This one-cylinder engine runs on gas--natural or propane. The brass tag reads: SUPERIOR ENGINE, Registered Patent Office, Serial No. 24610, H.P. 30C, The National Supply Co., Superior Engine Division, Springfield, Ohio. This engine was originally owned by an independent oil company belonging to the Fooshee Family of Montague County in North Texas. The engine operated a Central Power pumping two to four oil wells in the Sanders Field about four miles south of Nocona, Texas. The Fooshee oil lease and all its equipment was purchased by the O'Neal Oil Company in 1958 and is currently still producing. The engine, along with the Central Power, was retired in 1981-1982 and was idle in the oil company yard until acquired by the Club. |
Number 013 PICTURE |
| ENGINE, SUPERIOR 45 HP Donated by Ray Walker, Ray's used Equipment, Inc. The engine was restored over a period of four years and was first run in 1996. Brent Kramer, Troy Rhodes, Dierre Smith, and Buddy Webber transported the engine to the Club's site at the Gillespie Country Fairground in December, 2006. This one-cylinder engine runs on gas--natural or propane. The brass tag reads: SUPERIOR, Registered U.S. Patent Office, Serial No. 28796, H.P. 45C, Rated R.P.M., Max R.P.M., The National Supply Co. of Delaware, Superior Division, Springfield, Ohio, Made in U.S.A. This engine was originally owned by the Union Oil Company and was installed on the Hynds Lease in the Nocona, North Field, sometime during the 1920's. When oil production from the Hunds Lease began to deplete, Union Oil sold out to the independent oil company, Walsh & Watts, who later sold to another independent operator by the name of Walterheid. The exact years the oil lease changed hands is not known by the donor; however, he thinks that this transpired during the period from the 1940's to the 1960's. The donor, Ray Walker, acquired the engine from the Walterheid Company after it was decommissioned in the late 1980's. The engine's function for the above owners was to power a multi-well pumping apparatus called a Central Power. The Central Power consisted of a large wheel six to eight feet in diameter which was mounted horizontally about two feet above ground level and usually placed in the center of a group of four to six surrounding wells to be pumped. Steel rod lines were attached to concentric lobes mounted on the top of the power wheel, thus allowing all wells to pump simultaneously. Oil pumping by means of a Central Power was only used on shallow wells and each well was never more than 400 yards or so from the Central Power. This was an economical means of pumping several oil wells from a single power source. |
Number 012 PICTURE |

| TENON-CUTTING MACHINE Donated on 08/25/07 by Roy Anderson. A logo on the machine contains a picture of an eagle and the words HALL & BROWN WOODWORKING MACHINE CO., ST. LOUIS. A brass tag attached to the machine contains the numbers 14815. According to Mr. Anderson, the mortising machine was used in the Stein Lumber Company in Fredericksburg. Later, the machine was acquired by Kurt's Cabinet Shop in Fredericksburg. Gorham O. Hall and Charles S. Brown founded the Hall & Brown Wood-Working Machine Comapany in 1877 in St. Louis, Missouri. The company grew steadily and by the end of the century had a large product line consisting of jointers, tablesaws, bandsaws, moulding machines, tenoners, mortisers, etc., with a full line of replacement parts. The company marketed plain and substantial industrial machines; it was noteworthy for its consistent development of new and innovative products. Until the 1920's, many of the company's machines had flared pedestal bases with the name HALL & BROWN prominently cast on the front. Hall & Brown also served as a dealer for accessories and related products produced by other manufacturers. The company continued to grow and devleop new models through the 1920's. It was hit hard by the Depression in the 1920's and 1930's and moved into a period of decline. During this time, the company stopped manufacturing its own machines and became a dealer for machines produced by other companies.
